If you are a software developer, you can make money regardless of which coding language you know.

A developer can develop an app and make money on those apps that a user uses on a PC, notebook, phone or a tablet.

As Apple’s iOS and Android eat into Microsoft’s market share, the Redmond giant for the first time has made a move that would enable any software developer to code in programming languages such as Java, HTML5 or PHP.

This, Microsoft hopes, would kick-start its push for the launch of Windows 8 in October, which, the company hopes would be a game changer in the world of computing.

The company has 3,500 developers, college kids to 30-year-olds, who are working on apps that could help individuals and enterprises benefit from technology across PCs, laptops and mobile phones.
